I must say that this chapter in Better Pencil was rather interesting, even beyond that of a required text for class.  The idea of technofear is not a new idea, but trying to find information about it online sure seems to make it seem so.  In my view, this is just a sexy way of implementing the Status Quo Bias.

The Status Quo bias is where one person accepts what is already there (considered the norm) because it’s there/has always been the given. In the case of the reading, Kaczynski thought new technology was scary/unneeded/ruining technology (depending on the version of Technofear you are referring to), but did not consider what he had on hand a form of technology itself. In his stand up entitled Glorious, Eddie Izzard discusses how even the scythe was a piece of advanced technology at one point.

“The scythe was a modern piece of equipment after the Iron Age. People saying, ‘You've got a scythe? What the hell is that? We've just got wooden scissors.  Get Mr Digital over here.’” – Eddie Izzard.

Around 1450, Guttenburg invented the printing press.  This changed the way books and reading was distributed forever.  A large change in the status quo by an advanced technology.  Today, with printers, copiers, and the internet, one can easily over-look just how amazing this piece of technology is.  This is exactly what Kaczynski was doing when he attacked various venues for their ideas.  Just because we are used to an idea doesn’t mean it is at the bottom of the technology chain, but it probably isn’t at the top either.

It’s interesting to think that technology grows at a rate of about ten-fold.  The rate of change from when Kaczynski was a child might be missed out by my younger generation: we’re used to it, and probably embrace it.  Flat screen LCD televisions, realistic high definition video games, high speed pornography at the click of a button… these things all would seem like witch craft to a person 50 years ago.  This is much like Clarke’s Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.  If what we think is the norm now was magic fifty years ago, just imagine where we’ll be in 2040.

How does one get rid of the status quo bias (which is how I am interpreting the definition of technofear, as it is an overlook of previous technologies for what is the norm now as per the reading)?  Being put in difficult decision making scenarios is a great way.  This activates the interior frontal cortex (an area of the brain for difficult decision making) helps initiate activity in the subthalamic nucleus (active in immediate responses, part of the basal ganglia system (which controls motivation), and part of a reward system in the brain) (Fleming et al, 2010).  Putting on my non-nerd hat, this means that being forced to choose between new and old can help get rid of that bias.  Seems self explanatory, but science rules.

In closing, the one thing going through my head this entire chapter was Louis CK’s bit on Conan O’Brein’s show where he discussed how everything is awesome and no one is happy.  This seems to be on the opposite side of Techofear, but I saw a tie-in with being unappreciative of how far we’ve come in the world.  Instead of being dismissive and cynical like Kaczynski, one becomes more demanding.  I linked it, so enjoy the laughs.
